8 years since @Rainmatterin started, today we have, . 100+ startups with 130+ founders across 10+ states with 660 cr in cumulative investment amount. As @Nithin0dha says, Rainmatter will always be about giving back some of Zerodha's success to the community around us. ♥️

No way! ♥️😁

RT @Nithin0dha: It’s ridiculous to see people comparing options trading volumes in India and the US and claiming that we’re overleveraged.….

RT @Nithin0dha: The one question I get asked the most by new customers is: Does Zerodha charge for equity and mutual fund investments?. No,….

Came across a bunch of extremely lucky folks playing cricket in this setting yesterday evening. This ground is very close to Brahmavar in Udupi, about 8 km from my hometown. So many memories of the younger days of playing cricket. Good times. :)

Novo Nordisk slashed its full-year guidance, citing weaker growth expectations for its blockbuster Wegovy obesity drug in the key U.S. market. The company's stock was down almost 23%. The company now expects full-year sales growth of 8% to 14%, down from a prior target of 13% to

It’s easy to attribute every market mania or behavioural quirk to “Gen Z,” but I wonder if we have enough real data to support these opinions. The screenshot below highlights how today’s narratives about risk and rewards echo those of prior generations. So it's not all Gen Z,

TCS is cutting 12,000 jobs, and Intel is planning to cut 25,000. And many more companies may soon follow. 🥶. But wouldn’t we all love to hear from the decision-makers about the wide range of factors they considered before making these critical calls? Surely, months of

The real story about AI’s risks is probably somewhere in between the doomsayers and the hype. But if AI-powered algorithms do make social media even better at capturing our attention, it’s rarely good news for the average user. In the ruthless competition for engagement,

I wanted to hear from all the angel investors (including the syndicates) who backed Indian startups over the last 3-4 years. What have been your observations, learnings, and takeaways?.

Just ridiculous.

Like I said and like we all expected. No hope left for this team. Can't get Hamilton to Q2 in a sprint qualifying. Not that surprised. Another weekend where it's all about hate-watching the race. 😐

I often find myself reflecting on a couple of gaps in our venture and entrepreneurial ecosystem and how we can collectively address them. 1. Lack of a long-term, futuristic lens. Out of the ₹90,000 crore+ in annual VC deployment, only a small fraction backs truly.

The world of new-age startup valuations is confusing. For all the meticulous spreadsheets, sophisticated investors, and funding rounds, one truth is that the “real” value of a company remains elusive and subjective. - Is valuation simply what someone is willing to pay for a.
